Talenti Gelato e Sorbetto Celebrates the Holidays with Old World Eggnog, a Limited-Edition Gelato Flavor Available Now Through December 31, 2011

Talenti Also Unveils Brand New Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Flavor,

Giving Consumers a Sneak Peek of Its 2012 New Flavor Lineup

DALLAS, Nov. 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The holiday season is the quintessential time for families to get together, laugh, love and...indulge. This is why Talenti® Gelato e Sorbetto is launching Old World Eggnog, a flavor that packs the comforting ingredients of traditional eggnog in a rich, creamy gelato. Available in stores and online for a limited time only, Old World Eggnog features fresh egg yolks, pure vanilla extract, soothing nutmeg and no alcohol for a family-friendly treat.

"We wanted to take this classic holiday drink and turn it into a unique frozen dessert that could be enjoyed on its own or as a complement to other holiday treats," said Joshua Hochschuler, Founder & CEO of Talenti Gelato e Sorbetto. "The flavor is simple, clean and does not stray from what people know and love about eggnog. We are excited to announce what will hopefully become a new tradition for families across the country."

Talenti's Old World Eggnog is not only uniquely indulgent, but with about 30% less fat than regular ice cream, it is also a healthier alternative. Like all of Talenti's flavors, Old World Eggnog is an all-natural gelato made with fresh milk free of growth hormones and extra fine pure cane sugar that continues to uphold Talenti's commitment to artisanship and quality ingredients.

Consumers will find Old World Eggnog at select retailers or online from November 7 through December 31, at a suggested retail price of $4.99-$5.99 (online at $7.99 plus shipping).

As another irresistible treat, Talenti is offering consumers a special sneak peak of its brand new Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup gelato, a classic flavor combination that blends Talenti's Belgian Milk Chocolate gelato with a rich swirl of creamy, organic peanut butter and all-natural mini chocolate peanut butter cups. Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup is now available in select stores and will gradually roll out to grocery stores across the U.S. by spring 2012, along with a handful of other new flavors to be announced.

In addition to Old World Eggnog and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, many of Talenti's flavors, including Tahitian Vanilla Bean, Double Dark Chocolate and Roman Raspberry, are perfect accompaniments to classic holiday desserts—from pumpkin and pecan pie to cookies and even fruit cake!

About Talenti® Gelato e Sorbetto

Talenti began as a gelateria in 2003 and has since grown into the best-selling gelato in the US. Taking inspiration from Argentine helado—gelato brought to Argentina by Italian immigrants in the early 20th century, Talenti is made with the same uncompromising commitment to quality and artisanship that distinguished Italian gelato in the pre-WWII era. Talenti offers a unique experience, using only the finest natural and raw ingredients, carefully sourced locally and from around the world—Belgian Chocolate, fresh whole Tahitian vanilla beans from Papua New Guinea, select coconuts from the Philippines, and real Argentine dulce de leche are just a few of the many fine ingredients used to create Talenti gelatos and sorbettos. Talenti's gelato is made with fresh, hormone-free milk and only pure cane sugar. Not only is it delicious, but with 30% less fat than regular ice cream, it's also a healthier alternative. Our sorbetto is dairy free and 100% fat free and also made with pure cane sugar—never high-fructose corn syrup. Both Talenti's sorbettos and gelatos showcase our commitment to providing wholesome, all-natural frozen desserts that taste amazing.
